Snowy Lionet, who already ate and was sleeping across his chest and belly, found it was no wonder that he had nightmares!
Zhang Zian was anxious to know whether or not if he was still a man. He waved Snowy Lionet off of him, got out of bed and hurriedly touched himself; fortunately, all his parts were still intact.
He weakly collapsed on the bed and broke out in cold sweat from fear.
“Meow! I wanted to get you sterilized, but I don’t think you bathed for quite some time. How terrible! I didn’t want to get my claws dirty, so I’ll let you stay a man for a little while longer!” Snowy Lionet hummed and then ran away.
“Your Majesty! You’re awake! I was so anxious for you! It’s so hot, let me lick your hair to cool you down!” When Fina woke up, Snowy Lionet’s attitude instantly changed.
Zhang Zian wanted to sit up, but he had lied down for so long that his whole body seemed to be falling apart. Even if he ran a marathon, he would not have been so tired.
On top of that, his stomach grumbled in hunger and his lips were cracked with thirst.
He barely got up from the bed and saw the elves in the room waking up.
Instead of sleeping in their usual sleeping spots, they had gathered near the single bed.
It seemed that everyone except Snowy Lionet had gone to sleep. They left Snowy Lionet outside to take care of them. However, she was only allowed to do her job and nothing more. She spent all day thinking about how to castrate him…
“I am hungry.”
He took a deep breath and was about to express his feelings and thanks to everyone, but was interrupted by Fina’s cold words.
Fina wasn’t trying to tell him she was hungry. What she meant was that being hungry put her in a bad mood. If he was smart enough, he should’ve looked past the nonsense and immediately prepare food.
Along with Fina, Old Time Tea and Famous were also hungry.
“Zhang Zian, I don’t want to hide it from you, but I’m so hungry…” Old Time Tea smiled bitterly.
Famous paid no attention and went straight downstairs to find some dog food to eat. He had secretly taken some dog food by itself and found that it tasted really good.
“Whoa, the bathwater smells! There are algae all over! It’s disgusting!” Shihua screamed in the bathroom.
“Quack!” Richard helplessly spread his wings as a stench emerged from his anus, “I wasn’t prepared enough and took a few more bites before going to bed…”
“What the?!” Zhang Zian said in disgust. He wrapped his head and ass with a towel and threw it into a bin that opened and closed on its own.
“Huh?”
Richard’s protest was muffled inside the lid of the trash can.
“Squeak! Squeak!”
As soon as π opened his eyes, he anxiously turned on the computer and saw numerous posts in the comments section asking why the author didn’t post an update recently. In response, he quickly added a note that stated that he was on leave because he fell ill.
“Meow…” Xinghai tilted its head and looked around. “Everyone is awake, that’s good…”
Yeah, everyone woke up, that’s great.
Vladimir jumped on the window sill, looked outside and said, “It seems that the insect disaster is over, and everything outside has returned to normal.”
Zhang Zian wanted to know what day it was now? How long was he asleep?
He picked up the phone but found that it ran out of power and shut down.
He plugged the phone into the charger, walked to the window to open it, and smelled the fresh air outside. This was when he realized that the air inside was dirty, stuffy and smelly in comparison.
It was now morning. People who stayed inside during the insect disaster finally went out onto the streets. However, everyone still held an umbrella in their hands and carefully walked under the tree.
The tree leaves were almost eaten by the caterpillars, and the cleaners were struggling to clean their corpses on the ground while the morning was still cool.
“Butterfly,” Vladimir said.
Zhang Zian also saw that there were still many butterflies and moths flying around at low altitudes, but there were fewer of them than before. It no longer posed a major threat.
However, many butterflies and moths have laid eggs and may still come back at this time next year.
Zhuang Xiaodie… Or rather, where was that butterfly elf?
The whisper in his ear echoed clearly in his mind, was this reality? Or was it another dream she created?
Was this his dream?
Or was this hers?
Is he dreaming of her, or was she dreaming of him? Who was able to tell clearly?
Fina was usually rather impatient, and even more so when she was hungry. However, Zhang Zian was also very hungry and unable to cook. He found an excuse to run downstairs, pulls up the shutter door, and open the store for today’s business.
“Yo! Master! Are you back? How was your blind date?”
Wang Qian and Li Kun came in early today and unexpectedly bumped into him at the door.
“Yes, Master, your girlfriend… no, where are the pictures of Master’s prospective wife? Show us!”
“Master, you look thin! Did you lose weight to impress her?”
They anticipated his reply with faces that looked eager for gossip.
“Blind date…”
Zhang Zian guessed that the elves must have used blind dates as an excuse to explain his sudden disappearance over the last few days. Even so, it coincided with the actual situation.
“She’s pretty, but not my type. As for the photos… I won’t show them to you, so forget about it!” He said. To avoid further arguments with them over it, he switched the topic. “Right! How were your final exams?”
Wang Qiang and Li Kun looked at each other bitterly. “We just finished yesterday. Can you stop asking about it… Don’t tell anyone, but we will have to retake the exam.”
Zhang Zian expected as much. “Hurry up inside and get to work!”
If the exam was just yesterday, he could probably guess today’s date. He had likely slept for three days. No wonder he was hungry; he would have starved to death if he slept for a few more days.
“Yes, Master…” Wang Qian said nothing else.
“What’s wrong?” Zhang Zian asked, “If you have something to say, then spill it!”
“Actually, we had a very strange dream,” Wang Qian murmured.
Li Kun replied, “Well, it’s strange because both had the same dream. It was like we didn’t know each other and passed by one another on the street. When I woke up, I couldn’t remember the details. In any case, I was in such a hurry that I woke up.”
“Me too.” Wang Qian nodded. “So I got up very early today.”
Zhang Zian stared at them for a while, then showed a scornful look, “Sounds awful… I don’t want either of you to dream of me, so hurry up and stop talking nonsense! But first, go to Uncle Li and see if breakfast is done! Quick! Run, no walking! 123, 123… ”
After the two of them ran far enough, he exercised at the door before taking a brisk walk around. He looked at the door of the neighboring shop and saw only a dry, empty shell with an open back in the corner. The swallowtail butterfly had left without a trace.
